Origin of aether¹

First recorded in 1570–80, replacing earlier ether

Time, regarded in the mythical fashion as a person, generated Chaos and Aether.

And that the soul is a something tom off from the aether, both warm and cold, from its partaking of the cold aether.

Aether and Ar were separated from each other by divinities called Nephelae.

These were their restless and wandering sisters, who existed in the form of clouds, ever floating between Aether and Ar.

First are separated out the warm, dry, and light particles, and these form the aether or upper air.
